Admin GUI - xquery content type problem

[Andrew Bailey-3]

Hi,

If I create an xquery with the admin interface to exist
File>Create Blank File option it gets the content type text/xml and I
couldnt find a way to change it and when you do a get on the rest url
to the file the xquery gets downloaded as an xml file
if you create the file on the filesystem and use File>Store File the
content type of the file is set to application/xquery and when
you do a get on the url eXist executes the query (as I wanted).

In both cases the file has the extension .xql

Can anyone explain why the two ways of creating the same file with the same extension get treated differently,
its counter-intuitive.

Is there any way to change the content type of a resource via the admin gui (or any other way)?

I've been meaning to mention this - "Create blank document" should ideally use
the same file-extension-based content-type discovery that "Store file" uses.

Another thing that would make life easier for us app-builders (as opposed to
db-populators, who seem to get all the attention sometimes ;-) would be if the
"Files of Type:" popup in the Store file > Select files directory remembered
what you set it to last - that way, we'd only have to select "All Files" once
per session instead of every single damn time.

I've almost reached a critical mass of functionality in my project - if these
are still open issues in a month or two, perhaps i'll look into supplying some
patches, by way of helping pay for all of my whining on the list...
